AI Summary
This bill targets AI-powered robocalls. If a call or text uses AI to sound like a real person, it must say at the start that AI is being used . It covers both phone calls and text messages, including SMS/MMS/RCS, and makes clear that messages sent by systems that need a lot of human action are not counted as robocalls under this rule.
It also cracks down on scams that use AI to pretend to be a person or a company. If someone breaks robocall rules by using AI to impersonate with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or take something of value, the maximum fines and penalties are doubled. These tougher penalties apply to violations that happen after it becomes law .
Key points
- Who is affected: People and companies that send automated calls or texts using AI, and anyone receiving those calls/texts.
- What changes: Calls or texts using AI must disclose that at the beginning; penalties double for AI impersonation used to scam, harm, or steal value .
- When: The tougher penalties apply to violations that occur after the bill is enacted.
